Tasting Notes
Inspired by classic White Bordeaux's, we blended 66% Sauvignon Blanc with 34% Sémillon to produce Afternoon. In the glass, Rosewood’s “Afternoon” opens with bright aromas of fresh orchard fruit, citrus blossom, and subtle floral lift. The palate is lively and refreshing, delivering notes of white peach, green apple, lemon zest, and a gentle thread of mineral freshness. Crisp acidity and a light, balanced structure lead to a clean, elegant finish that lingers with citrus and delicate stone fruit.
